We have some great friends, Rob and Emily Matson, who are in the process of adopting 2 children from Ethiopia. They have created these great t-shirts as a means of helping them raise money for their family to go pick the kids up in Africa. If you can help, you can get more information here.

Brief Description: Join us for a day of fun, family fitness. The 3rd Annual Gladden Farms 10K / Half Marathon will be run on the bike paths, sidewalks and roads throughout Gladden Farms Community.The 10K will consist of 1 loop of the course. The half Marathon will be 2 loops. We are using the same course as last years' run.

There will be a map of the run course at registration. This is a VERY flat course.There will be 2 aid stations on course serving an electrolyte drink and water. The aid stations are located at mile markers 1.2, 3.2, and 5.5 on the 10K loop. Aid stations will remain in place for the Half Marathoners to go though for a second loop.

Bring the whole family!There is a GREAT park with play structures at the start / finish for the kids and lots of good finish line food. Stick around after the race for a FABULOUS raffle!

Cost:

$10 PLUS 2 Cans of Food until October 1st.

$20 PLUS 2 Cans of Food October 2nd thru Race Day.

Canned food will benefit the Marana Food Bank. Thanks!

The course is stroller friendly, although we ask athletes with strollers to start in the back. No bikes allowed on the course.

What do I get when - I mean if - I win?You get the feeling of satisfaction that comes with a job well done. This event has NO OFFICIAL TIMING. This is a grassroots event aimed at getting athletes in to running in a non-competitive race environment. I have no idea what the course record is and there are NO PRIZES for winning your age group. If you want to know your time, wear a watch.
